/r/Bento
Bento is like taking a "little bit of home" with you wherever you are. This is a wholesome, welcoming group for bento enthusiasts!

Rice topped with vegan egg, garlic kale, and Trader Joe's vegan Bulgogi beef. I cut everything into bite-sized pieces for quick eating lol.
This is my first post in here 😇I have been making bentos for my husband and it’s just getting my fun hobby.
I’ve started to really struggle lately with making boxes. As an adult I’ve been doing them for my lunches for about 3 months now, but things are becoming kind of mundane (using the same ingredients: mainly meat, fruit, and cheese/crackers). I no longer feel as excited as I used to about making them… I guess they’re becoming a chore. I’m starting to feel as though what I prepare isn’t nutritional/filling enough for myself, as it ends up being more fruit than anything else.
I buy fruit and my stock runs out fast, or it starts to go bad. As far as meat goes I’ve only been getting cold meat as I don’t have anything to cook with, including any hotplates (I ordered an air fryer yesterday). I don’t have much variety in my fridge. I’ve been running out of brain power to come up with simple filling food items that are no-cook. I dislike most vegetables so that makes it hard too.
I’d love to hear anyone’s feedback, if you have any ideas for inspiration, especially anything with extended shelf/fridge life
This is my food for the night at work, taken before I left for work.
Here I have some ramen, a dumpling, sausages, corn with some kimchi and some lazily cut up veggies with a splash of lemon on top!
Just made a bento and thinking about making it as my business. Do you think people would be buy it? I live in LA. I have about 28 years of cooking experience
Chicken and Korean kimchi are good for winter!
Made a Korean dish last night, and packed the leftovers for my Bento. This is gamja jjagueli, a spicy potato stew to go with rice. I was recommended by a dietician to eat more potatoes lmao hope the spice isn't too hard on my stomach, but it sure was delicious. I included many rehydrated shiitake mushrooms because those are my absolute favourite.
A little different from the usual: creamy pasta with spinach and tomatoes, cheesy eggplant bake, and two pieces of bread. :)
So I am thinking of getting a MonBento bento box so I can start eating healthier. No more noodles & cheese lunches. To be exact I am thinking of getting the MB Square because it is leak proof, dishwasher safe, and Microwave safe, however I noticed that it doesn't come with cutlery or sauce cups. I also noticed that it is not insulated so here are my questions:
Thank you for your time, I tried to find the answers for the last 30 minutes, but my lunch is ending and I don't have much time left.
I am endlessly amazed at how just a drizzle of Sriracha and Kewpie mayo makes everything better.
